15/f. how can i improve my handwriting? i hate mine because i tend to connect a lot of my letter, but not in a cursive sort of way. so what are some things i can do to improve my handwriting.
also what can i do to increase my writing speed? i right sooooo slow. lol and it is really annoying when i have to take notes in class. i guess in order to write fast i don't have to worry about neatness, but it has to be readable =]
What you need to learn is the art of shorthand note taking. You need to learn how to take notes and write a short form or a code for certain words and use that to copy down the jist of what the teacher is saying rather than complete sentences.
As long as you can read the code, abreviations of words etc and understand your notes you are great shape. I would tell your teacher that you want to learn shorthand note taking techniques so you can write accurate notes and not miss anything. Maybe they will think it's a good idea to show you and your classmates how to do.
As far as handwriting goes even presidents, actors, directors, astronauts, famous people etc have bad handwriting or illegible handwriting for that matter if you have seen their signatures. It's common. What can you do? Try going to your local library and or book store and ask for a book on good penmanship or handwriting.
Then get some tracing paper and start by tracing the letters over and over. Then try to write your own name or sentences in that style until it becomes mashed seamlessly with your own. Good luck, I know you can do this. Let me know how it goes by hitting my mailbox. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

But I wrote fast and horrible.. with letters connecting.
Just practice and try different styles.
Practice practice! You will get the hang of it. Start off by writing a letter to a friend.. you can take your sweet time. Slowly change when doing your work in class.
It's okay to write slow. You just have to have quick movements and be sure your pencil comes off the paper [instead off it dragging along.. connecting letters]
If you're doing notes.. it's easier to read & put it in bullet form or draw a small picture.
Or shortened words [with chat speak?]
And = +, &
People= ppl
I found out writing in all caps (or well, almost) helped me.. write clearer.

deathwillcome answered Tuesday January 23 2007, 10:07 pm: one of the things I think that you need to do is watch your hand when you write...I think that you don't pick up your pencil/pen and that's why you connect all of your letters. I do the same thing and half of the things I write are really confusing becuase I don't know if its an a or and o...right? well...I think that if you practice with not doing that when you get home and write a bunch of things it should work...the better you get the faster you should go... I hope that I helped, and remember, my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks! [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]
